This is a great trick and as Woody says - it is practically self-working. There is only one part of
the instructions that you need to follow carefully, but that's what I did and I replayed that part a
few times and understood what was required and then it works beautifully. There is a little audience
management at the beginning but really its straightforward and shouldn't present any difficulties
and then you have a miracle!!

If you are familiar with Woody Aragon's A Book in English you will recognize some of the principles
that make Fortune Tarot work. And if not, you may just learn a lot. It is a clever application of
some really clever principles.

The promotional video is honest and the instructions are
clear. The trick does require some practice (what doesn't?) and audience management, especially when
the spectator cuts and shuffles. The cutting part is easy, but I haven't completly nailed what to do
when the spectator makes a really bad riffle shuffle. In one performance I simply offered help and
riffled the cards together and then let the spectator square the deck - that worked fine.

I
have performed the trick a few times now and will definitely keep doing so. It is fun to perform, in
part because of the principles at work, and it gets good reactions. The kicker ending is really
powerful. So far it has earned me a few expletives and a middle finger from an engineer when he
realized that he wasn't going to figure out the trick after all.

A game so neat that will leave everyone speechless and with so many posibilities to present it that
every single time will feel new and fresh.. The explanation is clear and concise and the result is..
magic!

I absolutely love this trick, it is easy and very fun to preform. It is virtually self-working and
involves some great mathematical principles. Unlike most mathematically centered card tricks, this
one doesn’t feel like a mathematical card cheat. It has a very organic feel, and your audience is
left blown away. I showed this to many of my University Math professors and they were left with not
even a clue as to how it was done other than pure wizardry. Definitely worth the price. This will be
going into my repertoire for years to come.

Potentially a powerful effect (why call it Tarot ???) The routine needs a much better
scripting.... And the explanation is VERY VERY UNCLEAR.
A small part may be the language
difference but much of the explanation is tortured and incomprehensible. The explanation of the
'stack' and the filling in of the matrix (one time would be enough) is clear enough BUT all the
mechanics inbetween totally unclear. What a shame !
